Hand Strengthener

ABSTRACT

The Hand Strengthener is a unique handheld exercise device that has manifold applications. The Hand Strengthener&#39;s design and utility is distinctive in several manners: Due to the device&#39;s non-uniform, contoured shape, the position and angle the user holds the device can strengthen and stretch different muscle and anatomy groups. The design&#39;s sphere shape fits in the users&#39; palm for a comfortable, yet challenging handgrip on one side, while the two other contours allow for a uniquely different exercise experience for the users. Furthermore, the polyurethane material combined with the varied, and non-uniform shape allow for a therapeutic experience for the users. Our disclosures for research of competing devices clearly indicate a lack of multi purpose handheld devices with the Hand Strengthener&#39;s distinctive design, shape and contour.

The Hand Strengthener is uniquely designed to fit comfortably and squarely into the palm of your hand. The front view allows for personalizing individual names to advertise and promote business firms. The said Hand Strengthener has manifold utility due to its unique design; in one device, multiple exercises and applications can be utilized by the users of the said Hand Strengthener.
